Leonelli, Clair

クレア・レオネリ

Clair serves as the leader (Don) of the Leonelli crime family in the city of Judoh. His title is known as Vampire, which perhaps alludes to the nature of mafia activities. His father, Lorenzo, intended for him to become his successor by working as Chairman Vampire of Company Vita. While the other mafia members appear loyal to Clair, this loyalty does not stem from respect; they frequently fear provoking his wrath.
Clair is mentally unstable, brashly immature, and generally insane, often carrying hand grenades. He is prone to wild, extremely violent, and unpredictable behavior. (He has been compared to Dilandau Albatou from Escaflowne.)
This behavior may be linked to his strict and often brutal upbringing. Lorenzo would test his young son, refusing to accept him for who he was, in an effort to mold him into the next Vampire. Clair's father could be abusive when his son failed to meet expectations. Growing up with an inferiority complex left Clair insensitive toward others (he refers to society as "trash") and filled with seething resentment toward his father. He is determined to prove that he can lead the Leonelli family, regardless of what others believe.
